80 G/S Cable/harness route around headstock

[PW Cymru]

Anybody got a photo to post showing the correct route for the left/right switch harness and choke/throttle cables around and through the headstock please.

Need to get it running and gone.

Andy and I had an issue with this.... He copied mine and it was apparently wrong but I never managed to figure out why it was apart apart from the fact that we both hand a hanging idle at times. I'm sure if you send him a pm he'll be able to help out. Then you can let me know.

Thanks Canuck,

I take it Andy is Devon?

this how mine are routed.

i've tried a few ways as i don't like the way the looms are routed behind the top yoke, but none of them work as well. behind the yoke is how it is in every original BMW photo i've found too.

Thanks Cookie, I think thats how I had them routed but took them back out as they just looked wrong and ugly.

I'll try it again.

Many thanks
